Ventilation in the bathroom and toilet: features and

Ventilation

Typical design for houses of ventilation systems usually implies that such structures will be installed in only three rooms. At the same time, the kitchen pays the most attention, since it is there that a high concentration of vapors and gases is assumed, which means that they make the input through this room. However, ventilation in the bathroom and toilet also needs a special approach, especially if it is combined into a single system.

Features of structures and their varieties

To begin with, it is necessary to say that each separately taken type of premises needs its own project. The fact is that the location of the rooms, their relationship to each other and the presence of additional structural elements in the form of windows greatly affect such systems. At the same time, installation of ventilation in the bathroom and toilet can be done separately from the main scheme of operation, using the personal preferences of the residents.

Standard constructions

  • In older buildings, such rooms were usually combined.. At the same time they had the simplest design of exhaust systems, which was a technological opening or window leading to the kitchen. It was not very practical and effective.

  • Usually exhaust ventilation in the bathroom and toilet is created as a main branch from the main riser.. Such an arrangement is practiced in homes that use domestic gas heating boilers or columns. This allows you to get rid of the creation of a separate channel, which is best used for the chimney.
  • In some cases, the ventilation device in the bathroom and toilet are combined and removed separately from the kitchen.. It is believed that such a system is the most practical and reliable.
  • Usually in all apartment buildings such constructions do not use devices for forcibly supplying air masses or their diversion.. However, with occasional maintenance and proper maintenance, they work quite well and do an excellent job with their task.
In private homes, very often the kitchen system is displayed separately.
  • Special attention should be paid to the fact that the general ventilation in the bathroom and toilet is a whole system that is tightly connected with all the elements.. Therefore, the presence of special gaps in the doors and windows is just necessary.

Tip! The quality and effectiveness of such structures decreases over time and in the event of improper operation. That is why experts recommend periodic cleaning of not only horizontal branches, but also vertical mines.

Independent improvements

Usually when answering the question of how to make ventilation in the bathroom and toilet, most craftsmen recommend installing special fans at the exit of the shafts, which will serve to remove vapors or unpleasant odors from the room.

If there is no standard wiring for these rooms, then it should be done independently, using special pipes. However, it must be remembered that this design should be connected to the main riser in the kitchen, but only in the vent.

If there are several mines, you can install a branched or separate system for each room, although it is believed that for small apartments it is completely useless.

Also, the installation manual recommends creating an additional supply of fresh air. Since these rooms are usually located at a certain distance from the external walls, it is possible to organize a similar exchange of air masses using adjacent rooms. The easiest way to do this is to make small openings at the bottom of the entrance doors to this room, which will allow you to create a kind of turn.

Special attention in the modernization of such structures must be given to the fact that very often the ventilation in the toilet and bathroom in the apartment becomes a real transport system for moving cockroaches, ants or other insects.

Therefore, the masters always recommend to purchase special overhead grilles with additional grids on all holes. This will serve as a kind of barrier for them and can protect the apartment from infection.

Tip! To save money that goes to pay for electrical energy, and to increase the level of comfort, some experts prefer to connect the exhaust fan with a light source. However, it must be remembered that such schemes are not practical and sometimes reduce the life of the lamps. Therefore, it is much easier to install a separate switch for this purpose.

Recommendations of the masters

  • If the ventilation is carried out in the bathroom and toilet with your own hands, then it makes sense to contact a specialist at least to create or approve projects. This will provide a structure with a maximum degree of efficiency.
Doors with air vents that can be installed when accessing such rooms
  • You should not block the ventilation ducts with interior items or cover them with sheets of paper. This will disrupt the exchange of air masses and may cause condensation or even carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • Sometimes, buying kitchen hoods, the price of which is very high, and the design is equipped with several fans and even their own lighting system, people forget that there are other rooms. Therefore, it is best to consider the process of upgrading such equipment in the complex.
The principle of creating a kind of ventilation with a significant distance of the room from the outer wall involves the use of air vents or openings in the doors.

Conclusion

After studying the proposed video in this article, you can get acquainted with the structures of this type and their varieties. At the same time, on the basis of the text above, it is necessary to conclude that such premises as the bathroom and the toilet also need their own ventilation system.
